Chapter 1525

"Be punished! And it's got to be punished! Take the officers and men in the army as private strong men. Once this case is opened, the army will not be in the army, and the future will be endless. " Zong Yuan said it firmly.

"Oh Tang Yin gently floated to answer, the expression on his face did not change, but the joy in his eyes was reduced a few points.

Zong Yuan's greatest strength is good at observing words and expressions, insight into people's hearts, and seeing the situation. He sighed in his heart. It seems that the king still can't bear to be horizontal!

As soon as he spoke, he immediately said, "let's offset the merits."

"What do you mean?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows.

"The soldiers and soldiers fight hard in the battlefield to attack the city and pull out the stronghold in order to make contributions. If the achievements can not be overcome, what are they doing? General Qi's military exploits are numerous, and they have helped him to be promoted to the rank of marquis. If the merits are to be countered, he will naturally be dismissed and the marquis will be cut off. The king can take back his rank of general and Marquis, and he can still serve as the head of the Ninth Army temporarily. When he has made some achievements in the future, it will not be too late for the king to re appoint his officer and his marquis. "

Zong Yuan finished in one breath and then peeped at Tang Yin's reaction.

In Tang Yin's mind, Qi Heng is an indispensable talent in Fengguo. It's not that he can lead the army to fight, or the Ninth Army can't do without him, but Qi Heng's force is too strong. Even compared with Shangguan yuanrang, Qi Heng's force is almost everywhere.

In this expedition to Huan state, Wu Guang, the great general, was killed. One of the four powerful generals of Fengguo was missing. Tang yinben intended to let Qi Heng fill in. As a result, he was too disheartened. This time, such an incident happened.

Tang Yin murmured, nodded and said, "it's good to kill him!" Then he turned his eyes to Zhang Zhe and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

Anyone can see that Tang Yin was very satisfied with the punishment, but Zhang Zhe had the ability to ignore everything. He shook his head and said, "reply to the king, I think it's too light."

"Oh Tang Yin laughed and asked, "do you think the king's punishment to the fan family is too light or the punishment to Qi Heng is too light?"

"It's too light." Zhang Zhe said bluntly.

"That's it. Go back both of you!" Tang Yin is really tired. He doesn't want to argue with Zhang Zhe any more. He waves his hand wearily.

Zhang Zhe still wanted to talk, but when he saw Tang Yin close his eyes and fell down, he was lying on his side. When he reached his mouth, he could only swallow it back into his stomach. He bowed down with Zongyuan and withdrew from the study.

Outside, Zong Yuan looked at Zhang Zhe, who was unwilling in his heart. He shook his head and sighed.

The latter white his eye, cold snort a way: "smooth tongue, flattery!" With that, he swung his robe sleeves and strode away, as if he had stained Zongyuan's eyes.

Zongyuan quickly caught up with him, regardless of whether Zhang Zhe wanted to talk to himself or not, he said to himself: "strict punishment is the way to govern the country, but we should also pay attention to methods and means. Lord Zhang has done a little too much this time"

before he finished his words, Zhang Zheming stopped and looked back at him angrily. Zong Yuan, who followed him, didn't expect that he would stop suddenly and almost hit him.

"Mr. Zong, what do you mean by that? As a censor doctor, I supervise all officials and report illegal acts. Why not

"Yes, yes, but Mr. Zhang didn't do a good job." Zongyuan said meaningfully: "our king is not a faint monarch. I think Lord Zhang can meet the king in private, and the king will never sit idly by. What should be punished will certainly be punished, and those who should be punished will be punished. However, Lord Zhang will make things all over the city, which is known to all, which makes the king unable to come down. When it comes to the king's internal affairs, he should be cautious "

seeing that the more he said, the worse Zhang Zhe's face was, and Zongyuan was not easy to say anything more, he gave a dry smile and arched his hand and said," Oh, I haven't eaten much all day. Mr. Zhang, how about going to Fengyang building to have wine together? "

"Hum! The way is different, do not conspire with each other. Please find someone else to accompany you! " Zhang Zhe didn't leave a friendly face at all. He glared at Zongyuan and walked away.

Looking at Zhang Zhe's back, Zongyuan had no choice but to smile bitterly. He murmured: "look at your temper. The king can bear you for a while, can he still bear you, alas!"

He was both the founder of the country and the old minister that the king had devoted himself to assisting him when he started the army. Zongyuan could not bear to see what happened to Zhang Zhe. From the heart, he also admired Zhang Zhe. He dared to say what he did not dare to say and did what he did not dare to do. Of course, the cost was that the danger he faced was much greater than that of himself.

Not long after Zhang Zhe and Zongyuan left, Gu Chen arrived.

A Si enters the study and is about to report. Seeing Tang Yin lying on his side, with his eyes closed, he seems to be asleep. He quietly retreats again and whispers to A-San and Gu Chen outside: "the king is resting. Mr. Gu will wait here for a moment."

Gu Chen nodded and then asked in a low voice, "is your king tired?"

A four wry smile, said: "tired of nature is tired, mainly because there are too many things to worry about."

Gu Chen thought for a while, understanding ground should one. Ah Si said, "there is a pavilion in the garden. Lord Gu can go there to enjoy the cool first. When the king wakes up, I will call you.""No, I'll wait here." Gu Chen stood in place and did not move.

As time passed by, Gu Chen's forehead was gradually sweating under the scorching sun. Finally, he had to stand beside a-san-a-si and hide under the eaves. It took more than an hour to hear the news in the study.

Ah Si hurried into the study. Tang Yin was sitting up from the collapse. He stepped forward quickly and asked in a low voice, "is the king awake?"

"Yes Tang Yin shook his head and murmured: "I fell asleep just now."

"King, Lord Gu has arrived and is waiting outside." Ah Si warned in a low voice.

"Let him in!" Tang Yin rubbed his eyes, cheered up, and then stood up and stretched his muscles and bones in the room.

Gu Chen came in from outside and knelt down. Tang Yin a smile, said: "Gu Chen, you get up!"

Thank you

"Gu Chen, you and your uncle Gu Chong should be the old ministers of the former dynasty?"

He thought that the king summoned himself to ask about fan Ju's case. He didn't expect to ask about this suddenly. Gu Chen was quite surprised. He nodded and said, "yes, the king. Uncle and minister were all ministers of the former dynasty. The king did not abandon him and remained in the Lieutenant's house."

In fact, it is said that Gu Chong and Gu Chen are old ministers of the former dynasty or polite. When Wang Feng Zhanhua was still in power, Gu Chong had already taken charge of the second lieutenant's house. Later, Zhong Tian killed the Lord and usurped the throne. Gu Chong still took charge of the second Lieutenant's mansion. Later, Tang Yin replaced Zhong Tian and became the new wind king. His uncle and nephew were still not removed from office. From Zhanhua to Zhongtian and then to Tangyin, Gu Chong and Gu Chen were considered to be the elders of the three dynasties.

Tang Yin asked with a smile: "Gu Chen, tell me about it. How is this king doing?"

Gu Chen is startled, what meaning does the king ask so? He quickly knelt down on the ground and said, "the king is wise and powerful, commanding the strong wind, and dominating the north. His talent and great achievements are obvious to all!"

Tang Yin pulled him up with a smile and said calmly, "I just want to talk to you. You don't have to be nervous." After a pause, he asked with a smile: "so, in your eyes, I am a monarch who is competent?"

At this time, Gu Chen's cold sweat has come out. He is a man of integrity, but he is still a courtier in front of Tang Yin, so he has to take back his backbone.

He swallowed his saliva, knelt down again, kowtowed and said, "the case of the abbot was investigated by the minister. If there is something wrong, please punish him." Don't torment me like this again!

Tang yinle said, "I don't think you've done anything wrong. On the contrary, I think you've done a good job."

The more he said so, the more Gu Chen felt that his back was cool, and that he had a sense of imminent disaster. He could not get up on his knees and said in a trembling voice, "the king should punish his ministers."

Tang Yin looked at him helplessly. How could he not believe what he said in his heart! "What?" he asked suspiciously? In your mind, am I such a coward? "

Gu Chen shivered and said, "I dare not, I have no intention of this"

"then stand up and speak!"

Oh! Gu Chen stands up cautiously, hang head to retreat in one side.

"A long time ago, I thought that you were very good at investigating cases, and even those cases that you couldn't even find out by secret arrows, would become easy in your hands. This kind of talent is very rare!" Tang Yin said with a smile.

"The king flattered me. I'm ashamed." Until now Gu Chen also did not understand the king and himself said that these in the end what purpose, but more and more confused.

Don't look at his expression, Tang Yin can also guess Gu Chen at this time certainly a brain door son's inexplicable.

He blinked his eyes, pondered for a moment, then restrained his smile and said in a slow voice: "my strong wind seems to be dominating the north for a while, but in fact, there are many problems and worries. Take this case of the fan family selling salt and iron as an example. If you don't find out, I don't know how long it will take before I know that the fan family is actually robbing the imperial court for money. There are so many counties and towns in Fengguo. How many officials are taking bribes and bending the law, and how many officials and businessmen collude with each other? I don't know at all. Sometimes, I really want a pair of thousand mile eyes and a pair of ears. Even if it's the mayor of the most remote town, I can know what he does and what he says every day. "

Speaking of this, he patted Gu Chen's shoulder and asked meaningfully, "Gu Chen, are you willing to be the king's thousand mile eye and ear?"

Gu Chen was tongue tied when he heard that the Lieutenant's office was only set up in the capital city. Even if all the Yamen servants and soldiers were added together, there would be eight thousand people. How can we monitor the counties, counties and even one city and one town in the country?
